How sure are they that this hardware revision is going to be what is required? I feel like at any point in time you can make an assumption about the hardware requirements to only discover in future that you could have actually done it with just a software update if the CPU had one more core. They'd have to be pretty sure this HW rev would meet their future demands for self-driving right ?
- victorhooi 10y agoI assume they're reasonably confident, since they've been doing this for a while, and have ploughed more money/time into this than most others. That, and judging by Tesla's history - if there was indeed something lacking, they might just retro-fit it for free onto people's cars. So I assume they're keen on getting this right...haha.
- JustSomeNobody 10y agoUm, this is what we in the tech industry do ALL the time. We can only use _existing_ technology. We can't see into the future, so we do our best to choose HW/SW based on our _current_ understanding of the problems we are solving. If they weren't "sure" based on their current understanding of the problem, then they surely wouldn't be placing this in their vehicles.
